+[section:creating_python_object Creating `boost::python::object` from `PyObject*`]
+
+When you want a `boost::python::object` to manage a pointer to `PyObject*` pyobj one does:
+
+    boost::python::object o(boost::python::handle<>(pyobj));
+
+In this case, the `o` object, manages the `pyobj`, it won’t increase the reference count on construction.
+
+Otherwise, to use a borrowed reference:
+
+    boost::python::object o(boost::python::handle<>(boost::python::borrowed(pyobj)));
+
+In this case, `Py_INCREF` is called, so `pyobj` is not destructed when object o goes out of scope.
